4H Junior Teen Council growing, seeks members

The club plans to make a promotional film
about 4-H, under the guidance of leader Cindy Roman. Other
activities will include service projects, assisting at county 4-H
events and many other exciting activities that the members will
chose.

The club is open to all Morris County youth
in sixth and seventh grades.

They meet from 7 to 8 p.m., twice a month,
usually the first Tuesday of the month at the Rutgers Cooperative
Extension 4-H office on West Hanover Avenue, Morris
Township.

Membership Limited

Membership is limited to the first 10
registered members. 4-H charges no county, state, or national dues.
No uniforms are required. Club dues and materials costs are
nominal.

4BH is a Rutgers University-affiliated
organization that offers educational experiences to children and
young adults in grade one up to one year past high
school.

Younger members, in grades one to three,
join APrep@ clubs that offer a variety of activities designed to
expose them to many potential areas of interest.

Older members, in grade four up to one year
past high school, concentrate on a particular area of interest,
such as computers or small animals.

All members have the opportunity to
participate in public speaking activities, community service, the
Morris County 4BH Fair, and shows.

Activities for Prep members are
non-competitive.
